Let R be a perfect 𝔽-algebra equipped with the trivial norm. Let W(R) be the ring of p-typical Witt vectors over R equipped with the p-adic norm. At the level of nonarchimedean analytic spaces (in the sense of Berkovich), we demonstrate a close analogy between W(R) and the polynomial ring R[T] equipped with the Gauss norm, in which the role of the structure morphism from R to R[T] is played by the Teichmüller map. For instance, we show that the analytic space associated to R is a strong deformation retract of the space associated to W(R). We also show that each fiber forms a tree under the relation of pointwise comparison, and we classify the points of fibers in the manner of Berkovich’s classification of points of a nonarchimedean disk. Some results pertain to the study of p-adic representations of étale fundamental groups of nonarchimedean analytic spaces (i.e., relative p-adic Hodge theory).
